It's Showdown Week - (Weekly Sox Report)

So the boys won most of the games they were supposed to win over the past week. That's a sweep of the other sox, and only dropped one game in Tampa. While the Spankees have dropped 2 to the Angels, and 2 to Detroit (with one more game to go tonight). Plus, Mr. Gagne has calmed down a little, 5 k's, 4 hits, and 0 ER over his last 4 outings.

Now we're prepped and ready to go into Yankee stadium. The Sox haven't been there since May 23rd, and haven't even seen the Yanks since June 3. But they've felt 'em breathing down their necks for the past month, that's for sure. So we go into this 3 game set with about a 7 game lead in the East. Tito's set up the rotation so we get Dice, Beck, & Schill. Torre's bringing Petite, Clemens, & Wang. This is gonna be big. Especially with Seatle turning it on as of late, people are starting to notice that the Wild Card might not come from the AL East, or the Central either. So we gotta win the division. And that means winning the series this week.

Emotions will be high. We'll see some of the best pitchers & hitters in the game. Let's just make sure the Sox prove why they still got the best record in Major League Baseball. Game on.

Go Sox!
